Street names are a relatively cosmetic aspect of Grand Theft Auto games that were first used in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to define more prominent landmarks in the city, with the concept utilized to a similar degree in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In those games, only a handful of streets were identified by name.
Due to the increased level of detail, nearly all streets in Grand Theft Auto IV have names, which are are supposedly useful for locating landmarks and completing vehicle-theft missions, however names are not labeled on the in-game map so players need to use the printed, unindexed street map that comes with the game to locate a specific street. There are no street signs visible, either.
